The purpose of this study was to clarify the effect of continuous implementation of a learning program that can be done quickly and easily as a preparatory exercise in ordinary physical education classes on elementary school students' 50m running time.
The subjects were 125 children in the 1st to 6th grades of elementary school, and their 50m running time before and after the learning program were compared. In addition, we investigated the effectiveness of the learning program and the status of efforts using a questionnaire. As a result, the average 50m running time improved significantly. By grade, significant improvement was found in 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 6th grades. However, no improvement was seen in the 1st and 5th graders. In the questionnaire survey, 94.4% of children in 3rd to 6th grades answered that the learning program was “effective”. In the question “What was the most effective exercise?”, “the Lunges” was selected the most.
It was suggested that the continuous implementation of the learning program that can be quickly and easily proposed in this study was likely to improve 50m running time without burdening the school.
The future tasks are to change the exercise content and exercise intensity for each grade, to lengthen the intervention period, and to create a questionnaire that can be answered even in the lower grades.
